Because of this, it's possible for -sites that have used OpenSSH's sshd exclusively to have accounts which -have passwords expired longer than the inactive time (ie the "Weeks between -password EXPIRATION and LOCKOUT" setting in SMIT or the maxexpired -chuser attribute). - -Accounts in this state must have their passwords reset manually by the -administrator. As a precaution, it is recommended that the administrative -passwords be reset before upgrading from OpenSSH <3.8. - -As of OpenSSH 4.0, configure will attempt to detect if your version -and maintenance level of AIX has a working getaddrinfo, and will use it -if found. This will enable IPv6 support. If for some reason configure -gets it wrong, or if you want to build binaries to work on earlier MLs -than the build host then you can add "-DBROKEN_GETADDRINFO" to CFLAGS -to force the previous IPv4-only behaviour. - -IPv6 known to work: 5.1ML7 5.2ML2 5.2ML5 -IPv6 known broken: 4.3.3ML11 5.1ML4 - -Cygwin ------- -To build on Cygwin, OpenSSH requires the following packages: -gcc, gcc-mingw-core, mingw-runtime, binutils, make, openssl, -openssl-devel, zlib, minres, minires-devel. - - -Darwin and MacOS X ------------------- -Darwin does not provide a tun(4) driver required for OpenSSH-based -virtual private networks. The BSD manpage still exists, but the driver -has been removed in recent releases of Darwin and MacOS X. - -Nevertheless, tunnel support is known to work with Darwin 8 and -MacOS X 10.4 in Point-to-Point (Layer 3) and Ethernet (Layer 2) mode -using a third party driver. More information is available at: - http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~nissler/tuntap/ - - -Solaris -------- -If you enable BSM auditing on Solaris, you need to update audit_event(4) -for praudit(1m) to give sensible output. The following line needs to be -added to /etc/security/audit_event: - - 32800:AUE_openssh:OpenSSH login:lo - -The BSM audit event range available for third party TCB applications is -32768 - 65535. Event number 32800 has been choosen for AUE_openssh. -There is no official registry of 3rd party event numbers, so if this -number is already in use on your system, you may change it at build time -by configure'ing --with-cflags=-DAUE_openssh=32801 then rebuilding. - - -Platforms using PAM -------------------- -As of OpenSSH 4.3p1, sshd will no longer check /etc/nologin itself when -PAM is enabled. To maintain existing behaviour, pam_nologin should be -added to sshd's session stack which will prevent users from starting shell -sessions. Alternatively, pam_nologin can be added to either the auth or -account stacks which will prevent authentication entirely, but will still -return the output from pam_nologin to the client. - - -$Id: README.platform,v 1.7 2006/06/23 11:05:13 dtucker Exp $ |
